A/N: This is a one-shot set after 7x09 and explores a what-if scenario where Jamie and Eddie end up between the sheets that evening. It was tricky to write because Blue Bloods as a show does not offer much of a template when it comes to sex or even romance. For that reason, I'm mostly working from character personality and the banter of Jamie and Eddie's relationship and the release of all the sexual and emotional tension that peaked at this point in the show. I'm operating under the assumption that they have very little prior sexual history too, not too much of a stretch considering the personal details provided by the show. Ultimately, I hope that it makes up for the fact that we never see Jamie and Eddie in the throes of passion, and I believe that things could have bubbled over here.

It is without question M-Rated sexually detailed content. I don't consider this "smut" but everyone has a different qualifier for what they consider smut. I do go all in, beyond just the "horizontal tango" so if other forms of sex make you uncomfortable don't read this story. Reviews and PM are acceptable if they are constructive, don't read the story and then turn around and rant or hate spam me about what you just read. Why? That's because the site itself places everything else ahead of M rated stories and users usually have to search for M-rated stories so if you're here on this story, it means you went looking for M-rated content and the general summary of this story is also a warning so there's no excuse for anyone to complain, you have been warned.

Anyway, that ends my lengthy disclaimer…

The wedding weekend had been so chaotic…petty jealousy, a fight, matching black eyes, jail, and more mixed signals. It was the stuff that would destroy most relationships. Yet here they were dancing together like nothing ever happened. It was both frustrating and gratifying how they always managed to make up after arguments; like a married couple, but this dance was getting old. Holding back because of professional implications was entirely stupid. It was, they both knew, the complacent choice. A slap in the face to their emotional attachment, which was of such a high degree now that it felt like they were already lovers, they did everything together, everything for each other, as lovers would, yet they had yet to label and practice what their actions said they already were...yup stupid. It was cruel to keep denying themselves the physical and sexual intimacy too. All three were, by the law of human interaction, meant to go together after all.

Eddie relished how close they were right now, with her arms gently around Jamie, she had to do something about the two of them. Jamie was locked in her eyes, just one of the many beautiful things about Eddie. Before they left, he told her she'd put the bride to shame in that dress she chose to wear, it was true. He felt like an idiot, picking a fight the evening before, his jealousy got her hurt physically and emotionally and landed him in jail. It was amazing that she showed up and he was glad he corrected his mistake and was dancing with her now. A gentle instrumental melody began in the room, after What A Wonderful World, the pace was very similar, but it was just piano music now.

Eddie whispered quietly. "What are we doing Jamie?"

He was rhetorical. "Dancing, right?"

Eddie's mouth curled in a rhetorical smile as she chuckled. "Come on Boy Scout, you know what I'm talking about." He nodded, she kept him close to her. She continued with forwardness. "Jamie, why keep trying to have your cake and eat it too? You know how I feel, if you want more, I need to know. I thought when we put our cards on the table last week, we'd picked a lane." Eddie could tell he was conflicted, but she was determined to stop holding back in the hopes that he would do the same.

Jamie was quiet, his thoughts turned into words. "What happens if our would-be new partners slip up, the risk feels too big."

Eddie answered softly seeing his dilemma. "Jamie…"

Jamie responded tactfully. "I hope you know that you look beautiful in that dress, just like I said you would, effortless." A smile formed on her face at his words.

There was a suggestive heat in her eyes. "What if I said, I was hoping you would get me out of it…"

He was dismissive now. "I'm pretty sure that's the drinks you had before you got here."

She was blunt. "Are you brave enough to find out?"

He sighed in frustration. "I, want to be…"

They were still dancing in a tight embrace, and she could feel the pulse of his heart, and of his budding erection. She whispered hopefully. "Can you honestly say that staying patrol partners is worth missing out on being together?"

Jamie squinted. "No, I can't, I just don't like change."

Eddie pulled back placing her hands on his chest, her expression blunt but a calm inflection in her words. "Change is inevitable Boy Scout, just like you and me. We can figure out the aftermath later. I can tell…what you really want."

Jamie felt compelled to be honest for the first time at this moment, the moment was swelling his emotions. He kept his hands in her hair, voice resigned to some kind fact. "Not just what I want, what I need, and I need you, but I can't have you."

Eddie pulled back looking at him with an emotional gaze. "Yes, you can."

He shook his head. "I guess I am saying that if having you means letting someone else protect you, I can't bring myself to give up keeping you safe."

She understood his hang up finally. Her voice was gently firm. "Then it looks like I'm going to have to take the lead on us, again. You drive back to the hotel, and we'll get a little liquid courage, at the big hotel bar, maybe banter a bit and that can get you over the line in the sand."

Jamie grinned. "Not what I meant."

Eddie grinned back. "I know, but we will always be partners, even if it isn't on the job, that is a small price to pay." They were already whispering but dropped to a barely audible tone of complete transparency. "I would take you here and now, but uh, we've already put a lot of pressure on us, and I don't want to get caught having wedding sex when we've already made a scene this weekend." Her smile was mischievous now.

All the sudden something let go in Jamie's brain, Eddie taking control was somehow permission to himself. Jamie seemed to forget their jobs, what other people thought, what they'd be giving up…he forgot everything except how beautiful Eddie was and grabbed her waiting hand, following her silently from the room. Some drinks, banter and a blur later after getting back to the hotel, Eddie was shutting the door of their room and the two of them were heatedly kissing. Jamie scooped Eddie into his arms. It was wonderfully unrestrained after both had held onto their restraint for so many years.

They broke their kiss briefly and Jamie's hands slipped blindly under her dress and along the inside of her thighs She liked it, but she was also a little impatient, she'd focused on his neck briefly and paused, whispering gently. "It's easier if you take the dress off Reagan." She let out a breath and a whimper as Jamie withdrew his hands, tasting her clavicle with a satisfied expression.

Jamie tempered her; his eyes lost in hers, taking in how she looked. "I know you want to get to the fun stuff right away, but I could look at you just like this all night."

Eddie melted into a soft smile. "You are charming, that makes me want you badly."

Jamie smiled. "I don't want to rush it."

Eddie chuckled. "Rush it? The last three years have gone about as slow as you drive, which is slower than my grandmother and she's been dead for eight years." That remark was the spark that lit Jamie's fire. He kissed Eddie with a deep passion that made her wet and hyper-aroused.

Eddie was very aware of her faster breathing and whispered quietly after the kiss ended. "Now you're getting it!"

Jamie moved south further, kissing the top of her chest and slipped his tongue along her cleavage and then sucking gently on the exposed skin of both her breasts. He lowered the straps of her dress from her shoulders, loosening her dress from her body. They collapsed on one of two beds in the room and stripped each other of clothes until there was nothing between them. Jamie stretched over her and began to kiss her body as though he'd been doing that for a lifetime, her ears...her neck, her breasts...Eddie let out heavy, aroused breaths as he sucked on her nipples, it all felt so good.

Jamie was enjoying being with her so much that he silently cursed to himself for all the time wasted worrying about what came of them after entering a sexual relationship. It was incredible laying in unison with the only woman he'd wanted for three years, not a thing between them now. She wasn't perfect, but she was perfect for him. Her hair was like silk, her eyes so blue he could see the ocean in them. Her body was always warm when they were close together and that was especially true now. The way Eddie was looking at him, so desperately in love with him, made him determined to cater to her.

Jamie whispered lost in her eyes. "Do you trust me?"

Eddie let out a long breath. "Completely."

He resumed kissing her with a brief lip-lock and then steadily retreated to her lower half, kissing her stomach all the way down to her navel and then held her legs gently apart and started going down on her. He'd started by focusing on her clit licking thoroughly, and eventually, all over the bundles of nerves along every inch of her walls. She felt butterfly-like excitement sprout in her that rose higher and higher. "Yes, Jamie!" It didn't feel awkward at all and felt so great that she wished he'd have been doing it sooner, she made a mental note to tell him about the emotional release later.

Eddie felt building sensitivity throughout her heart, her breathing came slower too. She started running her hands slowly through Jamie's hair, losing control of her body with infrequent jerk-like movements. Her voice was low but excited "Keep going, I feel so close!" Eventually, he found her G-spot and her groin muscles tightened involuntarily causing both of her legs to slide to rest in a vice grip against his hips and he sucked firmly on her labia and then clit for just a few seconds each. She shouted his name through an orgasm, with his tongue in the heart of her pussy that made her feel uniquely his, causing Eddie to spillover, which Jamie took in stride, and as a cue to start slowing things down.

Afterward, Eddie was glowing from how wonderful she felt. "I need a minute to catch my breath, catering like that is new, it was amazing..." Eddie let out a breath of satisfaction.

Jamie withdrew his head and set her legs gently on the bed and laid across Eddie again, holding her jawline in mild concern. "Are you okay?"

Eddie smiled glowing like a schoolgirl at his concern afterward. "I'm fine Jamie, it's just I can count on one hand the number of times I have had sex since college, and it was generic, never that great and never about me." A break in the action was as good a time to discuss sexual history, it was the healthy thing to do.

Jamie stroked her hair gently, sounding indifferent. "Mine is more than one hands worth, but only because of my ex-fiancé. Outside of that, it's an equally significant dry spell." He smiled a longing inflection now. "I wish you were it though."

Eddie was still shocked that another woman broke Jamie's heart. "Yeah me too, but I'm thankful that this woman was stupid enough to dump you, though I'm sorry you had to deal with that." She quietly wondered if fear of things not working out was also why Jamie had such indecisiveness about the two of them going from partners to lovers for so long.

Jamie was dismissive. "With you in my life, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. She was nothing compared to you, you are amazing."

Eddie shrugged. "I'm not mad Jamie, we weren't each other's first, but believe me, since I became a cop well, you have a front row seat to my track record…" She trailed off. He knew her relationship past was troublesome either because guys were perverts or because they were threatened or insecure that she was a cop. Her look turned quizzical in a curious way. "Anyway, hopefully, I'm better than Dina?"

Jamie smirked. "Very funny Janko." He was surprised. "You knew my only recent prior?"

Eddie looked torn between amusement and satisfaction. "She was a college friend, a hot college friend at that, it was all over your faces. Besides, it's in the little things, you didn't make fun of my appetite or tease me like you usually do, so I knew any usual sexual tension between us was on ice. It came back in full force by the time we went on that double date."

He smiled, playing with her hair absentmindedly. " Yeah and that should tell you that you are the best I have ever had and it's not even close."

Eddie blushed with a skeptical smile. "You say that when we haven't even done the horizontal tango yet, I can't tell if you're just playacting me or you believe it."

Jamie was blunt, his hands drifting south again. "We can get that out of the way if you want."

She tempered him with a smile. "In a little while, I think it's time for me to cater to you."

Eddie met his forehead for a long kiss, flipping their positions. She planted kisses along Jamie's body eventually meeting his groin, Eddie wasted no time with the blowjob, licking slow around the head and then sucking on all of him at a brisk pace.

Jamie was amazed. "You are a hell of a cater!"

Eddie stopped, smiling with heat in her eyes. "You're not going to make it if the very beginning caught you by surprise, Jameson."

Jamie eyed her with anticipation. "You have the same look in your eyes that you do when you're starving."

Eddie held his length vertical with a grin. "Exactly!"

She started a full blowjob now, sucking off his shaft from tip to base several times, starting slowly and then going fast enough that Jamie was grunting as a hot sensation spread slowly from his groin to the rest of his body. Eddie enjoyed the more reactionary noises that came from Jamie as her fingers teased his balls. Once he was breathing a little heavier, she decided to lick them and kept circling her tongue slowly around them, determined to draw out his rise longer. Then Eddie shifted her attention back to his cock holding it at her mouth in anticipation of his seed when he climaxed and was determined to get him there. She worked a deliberately fast blowjob to send him over the edge, kissing, licking and sucking his hard on like candy. Jamie felt heat build the entire time the sensation was heavy, impossible to forget. It was three or cycles before he emptied himself,

She swallowed with an audible gulp that left Jamie captivated. He was so turned on now "Wow, talk about returning the favor. I knew about blowjobs, but…I won't make fun of how much you eat ever again!"

She smiled skeptically. "Yes, you will, you just need to calm down." She laid behind Jamie with her legs outstretched as he gently massaged them with his hands, as they entered a rest period again. Her voice was rising with emotion now as thoughts turned into words and she was suddenly letting all her feelings burst out in front of him. "Listen Jamie, I love being patrol partners, but it isn't enough, I want us…going home together, going to bed together, waking up together. I want everything with you, and I had to show you that. " She squeezed his left hand with hers.

Jamie was struck by how brave Eddie's words were. "You definitely showed me. I love how unafraid you are, I hate being a complacent coward Eddie, the game of chicken between us, it's my fault way more than I was willing to admit until now."

Eddie pulled him gently on top of her and felt the tease of his erection against her. She let out slow breaths, "Jameson, the last thing you are is a coward, I didn't mean to make you think that." She teased his lips with hers.

Jamie sighed. "Let's face it, that's what I am away from the job and I don't want to be that way anymore. You make me happy in life."

Eddie smiled as Jamie entered her to a shallow depth and draped her arms loosely around his neck. "You have no idea how glad I am that we're finally together." Eddie rolled slowly, taking Jamie with her so that she was on top.

Jamie was slacked inside her, he sighed. "Not all the way back yet."

Eddie was dismissive as she playfully teased his lips with hers. "Jamie, it's okay. I'm not that kind of girl."

Jamie shrugged. "I'm more frustrated with myself, I wanted this to be perfect."

She melted at his confession, a soft smile on her face. "Jamie, it's already perfect."

Eddie kissed him again, locking lips for a long time while letting their hands run along each other's neck and chest. The kiss was a bubble of heat between them. Soon Jamie's erection flared up again and Eddie felt her muscles vice grip him as she took brisk control. Jamie exhaled with a bodily grunt wrapping his legs around her lower back. He grabbed her breasts, gently squeezing them and licking and sucking her nipples for several minutes varying his attention on them.

Eddie let out a slow moan. "Mmmm…" Her breathing and movement got wilder as Jamie sucked harder on her nipples, she felt a surge of tingling pleasure intensifying every time he switched sides and it quickly spread through her whole body. "Almost there!" She felt it peaking between her legs. She gripped a portion of the bedsheet with both hands digging into the bed. Her voice was loud and staggered now. "YES, OH…GOD…JAMIE!" Soon she was thrusting so hard on his fullness that she had to slow the pace. Before too long, incoherent noise was all that escaped Eddie's lungs, so loud it drowned out the rhythmic squeak of the bed. At their peak, she felt Jamie spill into her, a warmth that helped them calm down.

Jamie smiled at her with captivation and flipped their position back to missionary. "So, you don't just drive fast in the car do you?"

Eddie was playfully blunt as pleasure tingled in her chest. "I'm reckless, remember?"

He was blunt. "You are, and it is part of so much that makes you attractive Janko." He kissed her intensely, and then licked her body from her chest to her stomach and settled between her legs again. "I can't resist." He sucked on her folds like candy.

Eddie looked up at him with a smile. "I am flattered, Jameson…" His name escaped her with a heavily aroused inflection. The way she said it was sexually charged, Eddie was in anticipation of his resumed lip service. "What would you do if I asked for specifics?"

He was gently blunt. "I'll do whatever you want, just tell me?"

Eddie was overcome by how much of a turn on it was that he was asking for specific directions. "My clit first, after that whichever parts of me like the most is fine with me." She spread her legs as far as she could so that he had maximum space. Jamie was clearly happy to make things all about her. He licked her clit, nibbling it every so often, eventually pausing to take in the look on her face, it was content satisfaction.

Her eyes fluttered quickly as she dragged out a moan in response. Eddie was playful. "Watching you take orders is hot."

He smiled, teasing the rest of her sex with strokes of his fingers. "Anything for you Edit."

Eddie wore a dreamy grin letting the way he said her real name wash over her. "When you say it I actually like it. I haven't been spoiled in a relationship. More like…severely jaded, but you know part of that history already."

Jamie nodded with gentle sympathy. "I'm going to change that."

He ran his tongue against her folds, manipulating them with his lips until Eddie begged, with a shallow moan for more and he was licking along her inner walls and stretching the skin of her folds with his teeth.

Eddie was so hot she was spilling over. She drawled out a lazy breath. "...the things you do, I am soaked." That was an understatement, it was like she was tingling all over with intense warmth that felt too big for her heart to contain.

Jamie smiled at her. "I'm getting carried away, but you clearly don't mind." Her face was fixed with an erotic expression, her breathing more erratic.

Jamie fingered her inside walls, slowly arcing them against her G-spot. She relaxed in an instant and next thing Eddie knew, warmth made her pull her legs to her chest as they shook through a slow orgasm. "Jamie, oh god!" Eddie climaxed again, he while he licked her juices from top to bottom, casually teasing her rim as he did. That was when her body turned to jelly, her face full of satisfaction.

Jamie noted the way Eddie had gone limp and finally stopped, stretching himself back across the bed, settling next to her massaging her neck softly. "That look on your face turns me on so much."

Eddie was still on this new high, her expression was brighter, full of excitement. "You just push all the right buttons on me, and for me, but considering you could do the latter so easily before we ever got between the sheets, it doesn't surprise me that I'm so happy now that we got here, instead of feeling weird it feels like we should have been here sooner, it's more than I ever dreamed, and I have been quietly dreaming since our first kiss."

Jamie was blunt with a grin on his face, stroking her hair. "Me too, but that means that you can't call me Boy Scout anymore, it doesn't fit. Besides, you are the one that thinks I'm awesome so I should have s nickname that sells how awesome I am."

She laughed with a rhetorical smile. "Aw, you would have to sweeten the pot for me to do that."

Jamie eyed her curiously. "How do you suggest I do that, considering I've done that quite a bit already?"

Eddie was suggestive. "Massage my back and it might persuade me to change it, but I wouldn't count on that." Jamie smiled, retreating while she laid on her stomach. He kissed her neck and licked slowly down her back along her spine. She was amused by his method. Oh, that's your idea is it?"

Jamie was nonchalant. "You never said how to start?"

Eddie was still on her euphoric high. "Hmmm…true, where this goes could work in your favor Reagan."

Jamie decided to multitask, he worked on her shoulders with his hands, digging firmly and the muscles, while also licking across her lower back, nibbling on her hips at each side as he moved slowly from left to right.

Eddie went on her knees. "I don't want to end tonight with any lines left between us, be gentle around the rim, okay."

Jamie reassured her. "I'll ease into it." He massaged both her cheeks moving in a circle getting her used to the stimulation. He spent several minutes on each cheek, eventually adding his tongue, licking one and squeezing the other with his hand. The warmup was perfect.

Eddie was feeling primal now. "Time for your backside lip service, I'll let you know when you can go fast!"

He was surprised. "You mean you wanna start slow? Never thought I'd hear you say that."

She chuckled. "I'm letting you through the gate into the backyard, no one else got beyond the fence, though trying to hop over it a little too much...so yes, walk before you run Mr. Reagan."

He was reassuring. "You're the boss Janko, I'm used to that anyway." She let out an amused scoff.

Jamie relaxed her ass apart with both hands and licked her rim slowly until it was soaked with his salvation. Eddie felt hot all over, the warmth of his tongue on all those anal nerves made her more relaxed than anything else he'd done all night, yet another of several firsts that she was glad was exclusive to her first time with Jamie.

Eddie was blunt. "Jamie…keep going!" He loved Eddie bossing him around. It was a huge turn on, her ability to take charge was why he followed her lead on the job unless it was going to lead to a reckless outcome.

Reckless, that was ironic…they'd been having all sorts of unprotected sex all night…if nothing else neither of them had been sexually active in years. The life of cop barely left time or energy for dating, let alone sex and these other forms of sex were firsts for both Jamie and Eddie, they'd only given all of themselves to each other and nobody else. Both seemed to agree that if any moment was worth getting caught up in, it was becoming unrestrained lovers.

Jamie was more focused than ever, fingering her g-spot while he continued her oral-anal stimulus. Eddie eventually reared to a kneeling position as she felt the heat peak throughout her body and she was furiously rubbing her clit, Jamie joining with his other free hand. Eddie was shouting through a volcanic orgasm, his mouth somehow still attached to her ass, sucking gently on her anal nerves, while they both fingered her inner vaginal walls and clit. At some point, Eddie was responding so loud that the rest of the hotel or at least the first floor knew they were having sex. The orgasm was too intense for her to care. Her entire body was shaking on the inside, not continuously but delayed bursts. The combination was like nothing she had ever felt in her life. a full-body orgasm that had a never-ending peak. She squirted for several seconds. That she could be loved so thoroughly made her weak and falling flat on the bed, her orgasm was still in full effect and she felt that toes curling feeling everywhere throughout her body.

Jamie had a concerned inflection in his response. "Are you okay? I really hope I didn't overdo it; you were so loud I was worried I was killing you." He pulled her gently back onto her back.

Eddie answered him smiling from ear to ear, focused on catching her breath. "I surprised myself, people definitely know what's happening in this room now, but I don't care."

He was quiet as he massaged her back slowly with his fingers. "Me either."

She was inhaling their mingled sent like it was oxygen. She answered him dreamily. "Everything is so amazing, I don't want it to end."

He whispered gently. "I feel the same way, which is why it's a good thing it's only Saturday night."

Jamie scooped Eddie up into his arms romance style and stood up on the bed. She responded curiously. "Are we going somewhere?"

Jamie smiled. "Shower sounds like a fun idea?"

Eddie blushed, letting out a breath. "Practical too, we have been having unprotected sex, maybe drinks were a bad idea, not that we are drunk, but we definitely weren't thinking smart."

He nodded. "I wish I had thought ahead, but when you go years without needing anything it slips your mind…" She put her arms around Jamie's neck.

Eddie shook her head, nodding. "Single cops' life doesn't invite sex, especially in my case where you're the only one that proved worth it. Don't beat yourself up, this was on my mind this weekend I should have remembered. I'm glad neither of us is doing this just to do it, although guys always seem to try with me…"

He looked at her with a pained expression. "That guy last night reminded me of Singer, not that he would have, but he had the same God's give to women attitude, and I couldn't let that happen again…"

Eddie melted, putting her arms around him wearing an emotional smile. "Jamie, things make so much more sense now, thank you…" He nodded carrying her into the bathroom.

After setting her down, he took a moment to admire her in the nude, while she turned on the water. He was no less captivated than when she initially stepped out of her dress earlier granted, time was lost to him right now.

He came up behind her in the shower, taking her scent in as he wrapped his arms around her chest. "You're so beautiful Eddie."

She tempered him, a smile all over her face. "Come on Reagan, you don't have to lie like I'm the most beautiful woman you've ever laid eyes on in your life." She turned to face him dismissively. "I've got Cellulite everywhere that's unflattering."

Maybe it was because they'd been caught up in the passion, but Jamie was just now seeing it. Her stomach, her ribs on both sides, her thighs, all held those irregular patches of skin. Now that he noticed, it made her even more beautiful to him.

Jamie squeezed her gently. "I wish I'd noticed it earlier; I think it is sexy."

Jamie focused on her body slowly kissing from her neck down, lower and lower, lingering on the first section of cellulite on her stomach. He did the same everywhere else it was too. Then kissed her tenderly as the hot water rained underneath them.

Eddie smiled touching his chin with her fingers, reflective in her words. "I am just not used to my imperfections being adored. I was hazed in college, paraded naked around the frat and then one of them posted pictures online. I never had a problem with my body but that's because I got to choose who saw it. Having that choice taken away and my flaws mocked and exploited…it was painful, took a while to deal with it."

He sighed. "That's brutal Eddie, I'm sorry."

She melted. "You always make me feel better, thank you."

Jamie casually ran his hands through her hair. "You deserve better. So, are you tired yet?"

Eddie shook her head. "Nope, are you?"

Jamie grinned meeting her forehead. "Nope."

Eddie let out a small breath in anticipation. She was blunt. "Well good, I haven't taken fire from behind yet!" She turned around backing against his groin...

Jamie was quizzical. "I am surprised you are willing to experiment so much with me right away?"

Her response was quite content. "I think it's the release, like a dam breaking. I trust you with my life every single day, that makes it so easy to trust you with my body and just enjoy the ride!"

He sounded energetic. "Well then, hold on tight!" He thrust the head of his cock in her gently and kissed her back and neck, his pace a slow start.

Eddie relaxed immediately, as he filled her completely, and the size of his now full erection in her ass made her feel a new level of heat. She let out a heavy breath of excitement pushing back against his steady increasing grinding. Another fast rise came over her as he thrust quickly. Jamie began fingering her, moving slowly along her inner walls to contrast the rapid grinding from behind.

The simultaneous effect made her shout with sexual euphoria. "OH GOD, JAMIE!"

Jamie was fueled with excitement. "The way you shout my name is so hot!"

They both climaxed, the heat taking over, which made them stagger sharply forcing them to brace against the wall. Soon they started to calm down, Jamie gently pulled free from Eddie's ass and embraced in each other's arms again.

Eddie's voice was calm as her breathing stabilized again. "That was fun. Now let's take the shower we originally came in here for."

They grabbed the bottles of shampoo on the shower ledge, and squeezed them over each other's upper and lower body, washing each other erotically. They used their hands, slowly spreading the soap. After several minutes of a private—emphasis on private—soap massage they focused on rinsing off.

Eddie seemed suddenly contemplative leaning her head on his shoulder. "Jamie?" She met his gaze with a complex stare.

He showed mild concern. "Hmm?"

Eddie sighed. "I'm sorry if it seems like I seduced you into this, I just couldn't take it anymore, settling for less than us." She kissed his chest and buried her head again.

He reassured her. "Don't worry about, this is the first time I've listened to my heart and ignored my head. It doesn't matter to me how we got here. I didn't have the guts to take the leap, but you did and I'm glad. It would have taken us getting shot for me to snap out of it so don't overthink it, that's my worst quality.

Eddie nodded, her voice emphatic. "Thank you, Jamie, I was worried that's what it would take, and I didn't want to keep settling when either of us could die on the job any day. The thought of that happening and never being your wife one day was awful. I meant it when I said I want everything with you." They kissed until Eddie's stomach gave an audible whine and she blushed. "For now, I'm hungry."

Jamie grinned. "I was wondering when you would need food, is this the third or fourth break?"

She laughed with an energetic smile, squinting as though she was actively trying to remember their night so far. "You have catered to me so much I've lost track." Eddie was feeling content. "I'm glad we're having a marathon; it took a long time to get here."

He sighed. "I wish that I was brave enough to be here back then, but change is so difficult for me."

She gave a long smile breathing him in, her response gentle. "Better late than never." He nodded.

They dried off and got out of the bathroom, thankful that they'd paid for a two-twin room as there was a second undisturbed bed for them to use. Eddie raided the entire mini bar, sitting down casually on the second bed, it seemed laughable that they had tried to hold the line by requesting a single room with two beds.

Jamie looked at her with a small grin. "You know, it's not too late we could head back to the city."

Eddie shook her head. "We can do that tomorrow morning, I don't feel like leaving our little bubble here, not yet." She opened several bags of candy, peanuts and water.

Jamie sat down next to her; he was content. "Yeah, the real world can wait." He drank a bottle of water and ate the healthier of what was available.

Eddie held his face gently. "Jamie, I don't regret any of this, I mean what I said earlier I won't sacrifice sharing my life with you just to stay together on the beat, so there's definitely no going back, it will be different but better."

Jamie nodded meeting her forehead. "Maybe it doesn't have to be…I will look up the specifics about all that and go from there." He shook his head. "Four years of law school and I didn't think to check the books sooner."

Eddie chuckled torn between laughter and annoyance. "Wait so you mean our game of relationship chicken is because of something that could only be customary? She shrugged rolling her eyes. "Smooth oversight Mr. Reagan, looks like you're still my Boy Scout whether you like it or not!" He laughed.

Refreshed from their break they got up and embraced again, kissing slowly and casually removed their towels.

Eddie laughed ironically, thinking of their chaos in the room so far. "The hotel cleaning crew is going to be busy."

Jamie put his arms around her shrugging with a smile. "I don't feel bad about that, it's their job. Besides, we had to keep lines for three years."

She was so happy that she could barely contain it. "We're making up for lost time. I figured we should probably use the whole bed and try and save the other one for sleeping when we get there." She bent over Jamie kissing him from his navel-to neck at a varying pace, eventually returning to his lips.

Jamie was once again overwhelmed at the realization that they were lovers. "I love you so much Eddie I can't say it enough. How did I get lucky enough that you put up with me?"

Eddie smiled. "That's my line, Reagan." She decided to straddle him, giving Jamie easy access to every part of her body, most notably allowing another round show of Cunnilingus. He started with a firm tension, stimulating her clit and the folds at varying paces while switching regularly between her hips and breasts with both hands.

Eddie was unashamed about loving his lip service and soon she urged him further. "Keep going."

He stopped, there was a playful tease in his response. "I should keep you on your toes." He ran his fingers teasingly across her stomach.

Eddie gave a dangerous smile. "Get me hooked and then cut me off, I don't think so Reagan."

Eddie was feeling the heat between, them especially as it built up quickly between her legs. Jamie knew better than to push Eddie's buttons much farther and resumed orally on her, this time more aggressively, grazing his teeth along the heart of her sex and heat rose intensely throughout her body. While she was peaking Jamie worked his tongue along many of the inside nerves to the point that it filled her. Soon his pace was so fast that her eyes started watering and Eddie had to forcibly shut them from the intensity of such deep stimulation. Eddie was reduced to loud, sharp breaths, on the verge of collapse, her body jerking in awkward bursts as she spilled over. Jamie braced Eddie when her muscles finally gave out completely.

She eventually found her voice again. "Wow, that was…incredible." She let out a long-satisfied breath. "You finally tired me out, Reagan."

He smiled. "I guess it's a good thing we went into this weekend wedding thinking separate beds, we have a spare." She chuckled.

They eventually found the energy to move to the other undisturbed bed and laid down next to each other under the covers, turning sideways so that they faced each other.

After a little bit of deep thought, Jamie was passive but blunt. "Everything changes now, I want it to change but we have a lot to deal with once we leave our bubble."

Eddie put her arms around him and pulled him close against her. "Jamie let's think tomorrow okay. Right now, let's finally put the sleep in sleeping together."

He smiled. "Yeah, okay."

She kissed him tenderly and laid her head on his chest. "Our next marathon I will insist on giving you as much attention as you gave me tonight."

Jamie was grinning now. "Did you just call spoiling dibs for next time?"

She nodded a glint in her eyes. "I have to even things out, say thank you."

He chuckled. "I've been warned."

She reminded him calmly and with a playful inflection. "Once you tapped this, and you tapped pretty much everything in one session, there was no going back remember?"

He squeezed her tightly. "Wouldn't dream of it, I love you, Eddie."

She kissed his chest tenderly. "I love you too Jamie."

They fell asleep a little while later, both feeling better than they could ever have hoped to feel after a marathon first time as lovers. Getting caught up in tonight was worth how they felt now, and they had zero regrets. Weddings usually inspired passion but this had been a long time coming, truly inevitable.

A/N: That's it! I cannot stress enough how difficult it is writing stories of this nature, in any kind of fandom. Hopefully, it's okay...I revised this a lot after I wrote it out from beginning to end and altered a lot of things that were moving the story too far into smut territory, no I don't consider other sexual acts than "the horizontal tango" smut. Striking a balancing act between sexually liberating and emotionally meaningful is extremely difficult but I hope I managed it! As I said I don't consider the published version smut, because they come up for air multiple times, but I wanted to go all-in because this little arc had a lot of tension—I kept 7x08 in mind too—that I could totally see bursting here. It's unclear whether they had same room hotel reservations but I could literally picture them trying to justify having separate beds in the same room just like they had to justify going to the wedding together so that's what I wrote. Plus, Jamie did put Kama Sutra on Eddie's 'honey-do-list', so I think I ran with the assumption that no matter when they got there, it would be freeing for them both!

PM or review as long as it's respectful, no lectures as anyone reading ths should be mature enough to realize it is fiction!
